GM:Studio Andoid/iPhone games

Quick question. I just got a little worried about exporting to android or iphone. We can release them like.. On our own, right? Without a big "MADE WITH GAMEMAKERSTUDIO VISIT YOYOGAMES.COM!" Or like the yoyogames-sandbox?
I hope it won't be like the sandbox or a sepherate store for games made with GM, cause that would be pretty lame and unprofessional looking, in my opinion. I would much rather release my games directly to the android market (renamed google play, right..?), and look like all other cool games out there.
I hope you guys get what I mean, and can respond (:

Studio will be just like 8.1, where you can release your games the way you want to, assuming you own a license to the correct module. If you own the android module, you can release your games to the Google Play Store, and with the iOS module you can release to the Apple App Store/iTunes. With the HTML5 module(and the current GM4HTML5) you can release your games to websites, and of course the Windows and Mac ports the same.

You don't have to pay YoyoGames any royalties, and you don't have to show a splash screen. Yoyogames's mobile games do, but since they made the games it makes sense. You won't have to, rather you'd be better off showing an intro with your company name on it.

My KBInput system is now on the marketplace here. It wraps up nice and tight GMStudio's input system into a few function calls making a user configurable input system that works the same regardless of what inputs the player has chosen including keyboard, mouse buttons, and gamepad/joysticks using DInput/XInput. The support forum topic for it is here.

Yeah, I noticed that. Sounds promising! Can't wait for the GM:Studio to be released. Too bad I gotta pay 200$ for the android-export though

GameMaker Studio is a tool aimed at professionals and as such the executables are free of any YoYo Games/GameMaker branding. The watermark is there for the beta period, it will be gone when the product is released.
For Android/iOS games you can distribute/sell your game through Google Play or the Mac Appstore respectively. You can also distribute your game any other way you please like on your website, game portal etc. (Usually for mobile and Mac games through an appstore is the best way to go).
